Lyon Healy 25" sax

I have acquired a Lyon Healy saxaphone. It is pretty dirty and is going to require lots of patience and restoration. It is 25" and has no neck, but on the bottom of the bell is engraved, Coutrvpier Moolah, at least I think that is what it says, as I have not gotten all of the tarnish and dirt off of it. It was found in an old barn. Can anyone tell me anything about this instrument? I can tell it was once quite beautiful and I hope to get it looking that way again.
